Some entertaining quotes/stories coming out in these last few days before pot is legal in DC. This story had some of the better tidbits I thought...

As quick background, I'm a longtime soil grower but I had never tried my hand at any kind of hydroponics. But I have always been at least a little curious. So, I threw together a DWC bucket a couple months back but the plant I put in it was a mutant weird0 (that's a swear word?) with all sorts...

I'm always looking for new landrace sativas to try, their Shanghai Express sounds interesting if it is legit. Damn typo in subject... Should read Malberry.

Thanks for stopping by! I don't think there's any need for anyone to apologize, I know my setup is a bit unconventional, and I accept that this may not follow the strict definition of a scrog (where most of the training is done pre-flip), but it works for me. The room is about to get a major...

Just a few photos from today. As you can see from the reflecting pond, I flushed a bit since the mystery freebie still seems to be showing nute burn symptoms.

Yeah, I know that! No trichs had appeared yet at that time, so I photographed the pistils instead. The most recent photo is trichomes though. Not bad magnification for a $0.00 microscope huh? Mine was free since I had a dead CDROM drive already, but even if you had to buy a laser pointer or...

Obtain a license to grow for yourself?? That's absurd. I don't need a license to brew beer for myself.

Some good looking kiddos there. I usually do 2:1 soil to perlite if the mix I get doesn't already have perlite in it. I've gone as high as 1:1 for seedlings if the soil is too hot or seems to be retaining more water than normal. I'll do less than 2:1 if the soil already seems to have decent...

This is a cross post from my grow journal, but I just wanted to show the latest photo of trichomes that I took with my cell phone camera using this method.

FYI, the seedlings I left for 11 days survived, though definitely didn't flourish. The pH had drifted well into the 6.5-7 range, and they all got a bit hungry. I brought the pH down to around 5.5 and the ppm up to around 400 (that's on top of about 150 ppm for tap + pH down). Here are the four...

Oh, meant to add: ElDorado is on day 55 of 12/12, maybe more like 46-48 of true flowering, while the mystery plant is almost three weeks behind.

Next, some macro photos I took of the ElDorado trichomes using my phone with a lens from a CDROM drive laser clipped to the phone's aperture. These are just for fun, obviously this plant isn't close to done yet.

Just got back from vacation, the plants survived 11 days without me! Here are a few new photos, buds are putting on some weight. The mystery plant is showing definite nute burn signs, but the ElDorado seems OK on that front. I won't be feeding them again unless I notice a deficiency, so...

If the clones are already rooted and the light is air cooled, I'd imagine you can go ahead and bring it pretty close. Couple feet away? I'm not really an HID guy so I'm sure someone can give a better answer!

The strain and the size of the screen will both play a role too. I flipped Super Silver Haze when it barely touched the screen on my last grow and it completely filled the screen because it was such a sativa and grew a lot despite being 12/12 light schedule. If you used a pure sativa strain it...

It's a shame they block Tor users, I prefer to not do my weed related browsing in the clear.

Sorry if that was confusing, but those other photos were of Super Silver Haze from Dinafem. I was using that to show how much bigger other sativas have grown when I use the same technique.

To give you an idea of how this canopy compares to the last one I did, here are a couple photos from that grow, one showing day one of 12/12, the next showing the density of the canopy around when it filled. This is how large I was expecting this ElDorado to grow....

Thanks for stopping by! I barely vegged at all, did a failed fim (as they often are) after 3 nodes, then flipped as soon as it seemed recovered from that. The main way I keep it so low is a scrog/LST method I usually use, where I use twine to constantly tie down any branches or tops that get...

I'm having a similar pH drift issue, my tap is only about 110ppm. My municipal water utility has a tap analysis report on their website that lists the annual high, low, and average numbers for various elements. Have you checked if yours does the same? A one time test only really helps if it's a...
